I'm a bit worried about how to remove hair around my private areas. Is there a cream or lotion that's safe to use instead of shaving? Also, how can I get rid of hair in hard-to-reach places like underneath and my back? Is there any permanent solution out there that I should consider?

permanent solution is through laser

I'm really worried about using Colgate Advanced Toothpaste on my pimples. I put it on two spots: one above my lips and one in the center of my forehead. It seemed okay the first two times, but the third time I left it on overnight and woke up with two dark brown scars. I was able to peel most of the scar on my forehead, but now there's an acne and some light pink skin around it. What's going on? Is there anything I can do to fix this?

Clinsol gel for local application is advised for 3-6 weeks.

I'm really confused about whether or not I should be applying oil to my scalp. I've read that some dermatologists say it's not a good idea, but others suggest it's okay. Can someone explain if there's any actual difference between putting oil on the scalp and not doing it? I'm trying to figure out what's best for my hair and scalp health and it's been really confusing with all these mixed messages from experts.
